Leilani Münter is one of our favorite green gals. As a professional race car driver and environmental activist (yes, it’s possible!), Münter spreads her sustainable message to millions of race fans.

“One in every three people in America is a race fan — that’s about 100 million,” she said in an interview with the Green Bay Press Gazette. “So if I even get 10 percent of them to not use plastic at the grocery store, that’s better. They can do something easy, not hard, and that’ll help. I can show them composting is cool, recycling is cool, and I hope that some of them will join me.”

The Huffington Post recently featured the eco racer as part of their Creative Minds 2011 series — a campaign that recognizes exceptional people who they predict will have a big impact in 2011.

During the interview, Leilani discusses a plethora of hot topic environmental issues like alternative energy and food production. She also shares her views on environmental policy and the importance of acting urgently.
